About
Higgins Capital Management is a state-registered investment adviser that primarily serves individual and high-net-worth clients and also provides consulting to local institutional agencies. The firm offers portfolio management (discretionary and non‑discretionary), comprehensive financial planning (including insurance, estate, retirement, tax/cash flow and education planning), and access to fee-based RBC program accounts and third‑party manager arrangements.
The firm gathers detailed financial information and uses a risk‑profile worksheet to tailor investment guidelines and asset allocations, then implements strategies ranging from long‑term holdings to short‑term trading, including margin and short sales when appropriate. Research methods described in the brochure include fundamental, technical (charting and cyclical) analysis, and the firm monitors accounts on an ongoing basis with at least annual formal reviews and quarterly reporting to clients.
Noteworthy for a small adviser, the firm is also registered as a FINRA member broker‑dealer and its management personnel are registered representatives and licensed insurance agents, which creates the potential for commission‑based compensation alongside advisory fees and is disclosed in the brochure. The combination of broker‑dealer affiliation, active insurance brokerage activity, recommended use of RBC program accounts, and formal introduction/fee‑sharing arrangements with non‑affiliated managers distinguishes the firm from many peers.

Not sure where to start?
We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.
Advisor matching and referrals are provided by FinanceHQ LLC ("FHQ"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment adviser. We may be compensated by participating advisors. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to the Warmer Terms of Service and FHQ Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge Warmer's Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ's ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
